New Memory Foam for Prosthetic Parts
From: Medical Design Briefs - 10/22/2015

Cornell University researchers have developed a lightweight, stretchable
material that has potential for use in prosthetic body parts, artificial
organs, and soft robotics. Air and liquid can be pumped through connected
pores, allowing the material to change its length by up to 300 percent.
